PROCESS GE MANUFJECTURING- No Brewing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Davin l /l iittnn, oilicial, subjecti of the Emperor of Anstriali gar-y, residing in Krakow, lasnagasse 8, thus triaillungary, have invented a Process of Manufacturing an improved Edible Fat;

- and 1 do hereby declare the following to he a, mixture oi such fats, by means oil which there may be obtained, in a cheap and simple manner, a product Which is entirely equivalent to natural butter both in respect oi appearance and taste, as Well suitability for consumption.

The process of this invention is based on the fact that those substances (in particular acids, volatile acids, and casein) which inipart to natural butter its taste and odor, are added to the fat at a high temperature directly from the residual matters that are produced in the manufacture .of natural. cheese, whereby, on the one hand, the cost of production of the improved edible fat is considerably diminished by the direct ea traction of the aforesaid substancesfrom a natural product, While, on the other hand, by increasing the temperature it is rendered possible to add the contents or percentage of said substances to the fat employed, 111 a proportion corresponding to the proportion found in natural butter.

- ticularly the volatile organic acids and the casein which are still contained to a considerable extent in the Whey, the fat which is still contained in the whey being also moved. This boiling or cooking operation Specificatien of Letters Patent.

Application, filed July 529, 1968 is continued until the s AN IBEE'ELOVEIE FAT.

, Eerial No. 32?,Gc53.

"ace the mixture is closely covered with a flaky or cur-5y layer.

Before the tennination of the ho ing opclttldOll there may also be adde, .l to the boiling mass ordin; or pasteurized sweet or sour milk or similar kinds oi sweet or sour cream or butter-milk (according to the quality of the butter to be n'oduccd), for the purpose of increasing the percentage of the casein and fatty acids in the product which impart to the m xture the taste and smell of natural butter. Moreover at this stage a suitable coloring matter may be added.

W hen the boiling process is completed, the fat is separated -from the whey, which may be done, for example, by allowing the whey to flow out of the vessel, while the collected ats, enriched with the vole tile acids and the casein of which tlie aforesaid liaky or curdy into a inixin machine in which they are allowed to 0001 slowly. After this has taken place mixing; apparatus is set in motion until the rat has become set. In some cases, if necessary, after the fat has become set, there may also be added to it ordinarv or pasteurized sweet or sour cream, or milk, or Whey, or butter-milk, and in some cases also artificial butter-stuffs (for instance, butyric, caproic-aldehyde etc.) after which the mixing operation is continued. for. a further period. .e iter the completion oi the mixing operation, the product removed from the mixing machine and treated in the same manner as natural butter by saltiug', working orlmeading, and washing.

Having now particularly described and ascertained. the nature the said invention and in what manner "the same is to he ber- :tormcd, I. declare that what I claim is- 1. The process of manulhcturin :euitificial buttcr'which consists in mixing a neutral flat with Whey heated to atcmperature of at least 41G and in nicaintaining said temper-- ature unt l a curdy or flaky layer forms on the mint c, then removing the whey, leaving tlie'curdy or flaky layer on the remaining portion. of the mixture, and then mixing said ienniiui" portion. of the mixture, substantially as described.

The PYGIZESS ct manufacturing artificial butter which consists in ininir' a neutral fatwith whey heated to a tem 'ature of at least 4.0 1, and in mainta' iiu the tempen atui-c until acurd'y or ilalryiayer forms on layer is mainly composed, are introduced 2 eeeem the mixture thereupon introducing the re,

maining portion of the mixture into a mixing a paratus and allowing it to slowly (i001, and t ereupen agitating said remaining portion of the mixture in said apparatus until it sets, substantially as described.

In testimony, that Iclaim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand this 5th day of July, 1906.
